Me too.

Hugh is like Ian from Jeaniene Frost's Night Huntress. The bad boy that was supposed to be a secondary character whose wicked ways just grow on a girl... (Or Grandma, LOL)

Wow, imagine if she had trademarked the word (view spoiler)[ cock instead of cocky (hide spoiler)]... that would have knocked out three quarters of all the books we read in this group, LOL.

I finished , paperback had been languishing on my TBR pile for about five years. I really liked it, the world building, the writing, the steampunkish, circusy feel and especially the hero, Criminy Stain what a weird but total fitting name.

The sad thing is although I can get books 2 and 3 in paperback the novellas are no longer available to purchase on Kindle.. very sad face. Can someone who's read it give me an outline on what happens in the final novella?

Maybe go into your profile and Account settings? Or go into Facebook and separate them.

I don't use Facebook sign in for anything other than Facebook though so I'm only guessing. Maybe someone who is more "techy" will know for sure.

Happy, I think it's affect..but I can't tell you why, LOL. Just popped into my brain, is that correct?

Yes, it does. I liked it but not as much as Virgin River. I think the ex-military theme of the guys somehow was a stronger link that's not there in Thunder Point.

Vanessa, I've read all the spin off series Thunder Point. It's much in the same style as Virgin River... but in Oregon and doesn't have the military connection. There is not much interaction between the characters of the two series sadly and is a good series but doesn't quite have the same feeling as Virgin River. Still worth a read though.

She has been working on and off since she's been 15. Even through Uni. So she had saved quite a lot (lived at home and we didn't charge her anything) but she also worked in the UK as a special needs aid in classrooms. ( She has a Community Welfare Degree). Australians under 30 can get a Visa to work in the UK for two years.

Thank you Vanessa. Loved the story of your grandma so much. Both mine lived to 97 so I'm hoping I follow in their footsteps as well.

My daughter took some time off after University/working travelling including living 6 months in Edinburgh. She'd go back there tomorrow, she loved it and as you mentioned HBW it made her a lot more independent and self reliant. She was in her mid 20's so a little older. Even though I love travelling now, I would never had done what she did at the same age. (I was too busy having babies, LOL)

Thank Lulu for the info. Interesting.

I'm finding all your chat on Colleges really interesting. Living in Sydney (the biggest city) my kids stayed at home all through University, for my son it was 10 minute ride on his bike although as previously mentioned my daughter had to go way across town. It is different for country kids though. So just an observation, do most kids not necessarily go to their closest College? Would most expect to go our of state?

Finished . I liked the 80s references but a lot of the technical stuff went over my head, I wasnt' a gamer except for the odd game of Galaga so probably not the target audience for this. Not really my thing but probably the movie would be entertaining. 3 stars.

Thanks for your thoughts Wild Irish. I do agree that the first part of the book concerning Dani "on her own" probably could have been edited or written in a different way and it was a slow start BUT once Ryodan in his beast form entered the picture I binge read the rest. Totally agree that Ryodan was a fantastic hero.

I guess we all have our opinions on what books mean to us, and I still love the feeling I get when I read a KMM novel. Sorry you were disappointed probably better for you to borrow it from the library.

I'm reading Ready Player One. Anyone else read it?

Must admit I'm finding it a bit of a slog even though I am enjoying the overload of 80's references. Middle aged grandma is probably so out of the demographic this book is aimed at, LOL.

Hopefully we will find out sometime the answer to your questions. There is at least one more book and I'm guessing (and hoping) that won't be the end of the Fever World.

Yes, that's the book that made me fall in love with the BDB.

Yes, and that's why so many readers love this series. The town and its people are like a big warm hug.

You know I'll want to gush.

I will check back in when I get my copy and start, although I have a few challenge books before it.. if I don't give in and read it first.

Oh Vanessa.. you have me wanting to read this so bad... I'm still waiting for my hardback copy in the post but when it arrives I don't think I'll be able to restrain myself.
